I think you should differentiate between the voice recognition technology,
and application features.
Continuous speech recognition is a superior technology, and this is why
Dragon decided to adopt it. Personally, I cannot use DragonDictate at
all: I think it has to do with my non-native English accent (I in Hebrew
speaker...)
What they do hope Dragon will do, is give NaturallySpeaking all the
features they have in DragonDictate. Especially: explicit separation
between dictate mode and command mode. I'm using natural text, and find it
very annoying sometimes that it recognizes some command as text. I added a
voice command to enable in disable natural text, but I still miss a command
such as "dictate one word".

Subject: Re: In defense of the discrete...
I agree! I use discrete speech programs when helping anyone with speech
problems, (stroke, Muscular Dystrophy, etc.) Many are not able to use
the newer programs. Because of their speech problems, I have found many
that can't get through the enroll sections. But I have helped many
people with very severe problems who were able to use discrete systems.
Plus you can make the macro's do so much for them. I do like to use
Kurzweil Pro for those people, because there is not a dictate and command
mode, which provides less speech input that they have to deal with.
